Hi Eraser.
You’re right. You’ve created this situation for yourself. It never ceases to amaze me just how powerful the brain is.
I can’t tell you what’s going on because you, yourself are the only one who knows that, and you have the answer, not me. Take a deep breath, and read on.
This is happening because of your anxiety, stress and discomfort. Since you’ve undergone all the tests and they don’t indicate any physiological conditions, we have to assume it is, indeed, an emotional reaction to your negative experience. It’s important to realize that the brain is so powerful that it can create a situation in which you feel removed from your body and numb. Now, you need help getting back in touch with yourself.
You state that everything feels numb; but I’m wondering if perhaps because it feels DIFFERENT that it did before, you interpret that as numbness. Sometimes, when we don’t feel good about a sexual part of our body, we cut off all feeling to it, creating what I call “crotch anesthesia.” If you hate something enough, you’ll feel less and less when it’s touched.
So what can you do? The first thing is promise NEVER, EVER to listen to those horrible messages that bigger is better. They are designed to sell you a product, not to help you. And stay away from women who make you feel bad about yourself. You might want to look at whether you’re particularly vulnerable to these kinds of messages. Do you always end up with people who make you feel bad or wrong or guilty?
I think a helpful first step for you is to learn more about male sexuality, which will help increase your self-image and confidence. The book I recommend for all men is “The New Male Sexuality,” by Bernie Zilbergeld, Ph.D., widely available online, but used and in paperback. This book has helped thousands of men, and I know it will help you. After reading it, if you still feel you need help, you might consider consulting a therapist who is trained to help people with sexual concerns. Best of luck to you. Dr. J
